Then Amazon launched an Echo with video, now Google are too.<\/h4>\n<p>Google have just announced their Smart Display, a screen with Smart functions allowing it to watch and listen to a variety of things. Sound familiar? Yes it&#8217;s basically Google&#8217;s version of Amazon&#8217;s Echo Show,&nbsp;the latest model of Amazon&#8217;s Smart speakers that introduced a 7-inch screen to the equation.<\/p>\n<p>Google&#8217;s Smart Displays will come with Google Assistant running as a built-in AI however they won&#8217;t be making the hardware themselves. That means that, much like Google&#8217;s Android for smartphones, manufacturers will create the screened speaker hardware and Google Smart Display will be the software that makes it all run.<\/p>\n<p>The first partner to come out with their own product for Google Smart Display is Lenovo who have created their own Echo Show equivalents. Lenovo&#8217;s displays will come in two options: a 10-inch model and a cheaper 8-inch model. Other manufacturers are in the process of creating shells for Google&#8217;s Smart Display including JBL, LG, and Sony.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Your Google Assistant: coming soon to smart displays\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ARA0AxrnHdM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The two different display sizes are much the same as far as software is concerned. However behind the scenes the larger 10-inch screen is capable of running at FHD resolution whereas the 8-inch screen can only perform standard HD. They both have the same power under the hood but functioning mostly as a tabletop slideshow as long as it works you should be happy.<\/p>\n<p>The display works much like you&#8217;d expect with Google Assistant responding and functioning as it does in Google&#8217;s Home Smart speaker range. Of course the addition of a screen expands those functions with video calling, Google Maps support, photos hosted on Google Photos, and even YouTube playback. YouTube has been a contested matter between Amazon and owners Google who have removed YouTube from Fire TV and reluctantly returned the app to Echo Show&#8217;s after removing it from there.<\/p>\n<p>Lenovo plan to release both of their Google Smart Display screens in the summer at $249 for the 10-inch model and $199 for the 8-inch model.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon pioneered Smart speakers, then Google jumped on the train.
